It has been a crazy fall between husband's broken leg, trying to keep up with everything and having the paying work be insane. I have still been working in the yarn though!<br /><br />While Ronnie was in the hospital, I started and finished a baby blanket to give to my BFF for her fifth grandson. I just love Vanna's Baby yarn. Very soft and great non-baby colors. It was also a very fun pattern.<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/11/02/1507.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/11/02/s_1507.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />I am back to making chemo caps.

That will be the starting total.<br />
<br />
November, 2010 - 37 hats and 2 baby blankets to St. John's cancer clinic and Newborns in Need.<br />

I barely got them done so my sister could deliver before opening ceremonies. <br />
<br />
I used Bernat Handicrafter cotton yarn in indigo, country red and white. Each hat was done in crochet and mostly done in the double crochet stitch. But each hat is different in the use of color.<br />

Hate
weaving in ends? The Russian join is an excellent technique for
attaching a new skein of yarn or for changing colors. Best of all, it
creates a secure join, so you can keep crocheting or knitting without
worrying about yarn ends! Here are instructions on how to complete the
Russian join in 7 easy steps. I’ve used 2 different colors of yarn, but
this is a great technique for attaching a new skein of the same color
yarn, too!<br />
<img alt="How to Russian Join Yarn Ends in 7 Easy Steps" src="https://snt137.mail.live.com/Handlers/ImageProxy.mvc?bicild=&canary=fkz%2bmfHIBZHKGOZfj5KzwWbb2nH0tUhh1XdImJ06ves%3d0&url=http%3a%2f%2fblog.lionbrand.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2012%2f06%2frussianjoin.jpg" /><br />
1. Thread a blunt needle with one end of yarn.<br />
2. Work the needle through the plies of your yarn for a few inches. Don’t worry if this looks bunched up now.<br />
3. Pull your working yarn through, leaving a small loop at the end. This is where the second piece of yarn will be attached.<br />
4. Thread your needle with the second piece of yarn, then insert the needle into the small loop you created before.<br />
5. Pull a few inches of yarn through the small loop.<br />
6. Like you did before, work the needle through the plies of your second piece of yarn.<br />
7. Give each strand a little tug to smooth out the bunching. You now have a secure join! Trim off any excess ends.<br />
That’s all there is to it! Depending on your yarn, you may notice
that this joined area is slightly thicker than the rest of your yarn. I
find this isn’t very noticeable when I’ve worked my projects, but it’s
something to keep an eye on.Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06698754340878398813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749025967766615895.post-14735766329077625882012-07-20T12:17:00.002-07:002012-07-20T12:17:14.744-07:00Crochet Flowers<table class="outlineTbl"><tbody>

1.
Each flower is made from a long strip of shells. The strip is rolled
into a spiral, then the lower edges are sewn together to form the base
of the Flower. The upper edges form the petals.<br />2. To change
color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new
color and draw through all loops to complete st. Fasten off old color.<br />

Tired of weaving in ends whenever you reach a new skein in your
crochet project? Avoiding crochet colorwork project because there are
too many ends? Try crocheting over your ends! This easy technique allows
you to keep on crocheting so that the end you have to weave in is the
very last one. Here’s how to do it.<br />
<div align="center">
<img alt="Crocheting Over Your Ends" src="http://blog.lionbrand.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/crochetoverends.jpg" /></div>
You’ll have two pieces of yarn: the working yarn and the tail you’re
weaving in (top image). Place the tail over the top of your next stitch
(second image). Then, complete your stitch as normal (third image). This
securely hides your tail in the middle of the stitch (bottom image).
Continue in this manner until the entire tail has been used, then snip
any excess yarn that may be sticking out. That’s all there is to it!
This technique is helpful for both stripes and solids, so get
crocheting!Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06698754340878398813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749025967766615895.post-73272370055187562702012-07-16T18:00:00.001-07:002012-07-16T18:00:05.961-07:00Getting startedIt's been a slow beginning but we are finally moving forward. Our group is now listed on the national Head Huggers website. We are going to target hospitals, clinics and doctors offices in the Central and Southern Missouri area.<br /><br />My name is Teresa Krapes. I started crocheting about two years ago. I had only made some baby afghans years ago. I researched crocheting for charity and found the Head Huggers website. Using the patterns there, I made my first chemo caps. And I was hooked. Pun intended! <br /><br />My first batch of hats was 37 that went to Newborns in Need and the Mercy oncology clinic in Springfield, Mo. My sister, Cheryl, makes the deliveries for Springfield. <br /><br />She is the other part of "we" for this new group. She is going to try her hand at sewing turbin type caps.<br /><br />Since that first batch, I have sent down several more batches. I like to do themes. Pumpkin hats for Halloween; cotton for summer; pink bats for October breast cancer awareness, etc.<br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06698754340878398813noreply@blogger.com0
